This mod allows you to create and share new services within the game.

Below is a very modern video demonstrating the capability of the mod



For a more thorough list of what you can do, you can specify the following for services:
  • Internal name
  • Display name
  • Phone call feedback for requesting and cancelling the service
  • Service properties
  • Hours worked
  • Wage
  • Valid age and gender ranges that NPCs of the service can be
  • Motives (you can include motives of other services to inherit their autonomous interactions)
  • Explicit traits (i.e., the traits that every NPC of the service has)
  • Possible traits (i.e., the traits that an NPC of the service might have, picked at random when specifying the possible trait count)
  • Hidden traits
  • Skills (and their levels)
  • Autonomous interactions
  • User-directed social interactions
  • Service uniform (for each age and gender)
  • Service car (can be set by clicking on any car and then selecting Expanded Household Staff... -> Assign Car to Service)
  • Inventory items (i.e., what every NPC of the service spawns with; you can add an item to the inventory of a service by clicking on the item and then selecting Expanded Household Staff... -> Add As Inventory Item for Service)

You can also import and export services. Exported service collections will show up in the Library folder and can be imported from that folder. You can share an exported service collection with other players for them to import by telling them to put it in their Library folder.

Two premade services have been included (housemaid and nanny) to demonstrate the power of the mod. To add these to your savegame, they'll need to be added to the Library folder and then imported.

All interactions are available from every mailbox.
